Milford, MA - January 30, 2009 - interfaceGO, a division of MB DataSystems, Inc., announced additional features and a lower bundle price for NK8 touch screen / control application supporting the ISY series of home automation controllers from Universal Devices. Working in conjunction with the ISY, the interfaceGO NK8 now allows full wireless control of your home's Insteon lighting & thermostats, arm/disarm of your Elk security system, viewing of your Panasonic webcam, and monitoring of your home's energy use through the Brultech electricity meter.

The NK8 converts Nokia's popular N810 (and older N800) touch panel into full-featured wireless controllers for your entire home. A Windows/PC version of the NK8, called the NK8-PC, is also available.

The NK8 software retails for $119.95 and is sold direct from interfaceGO. Also available in several bundles, users can add a complete wireless touch panel to their home for $359.90. The Windows/PC version of the NK8, called the NK8-PC, retails for a low $49.95.

The Nokia N810 features a sharp 800 x 480 4.1" display, slide-out keyboard, Bluetooth, and 802.11g wireless connectivity. By leveraging Nokia's versatile touch panels, interfaceGO's NK8 software provides a completely flexible end-user experience. Users can dedicate the touch panel to home monitoring and control, or simply exit the NK8 software to browse the web, check their email, or utilize one of the many other features of the Nokia touch panel.

Bundled with the interfaceGO NK8 and NK8-PC is a powerful but simple Config Utility, allowing users to build their own personalized interfaces by simply dragging and dropping scenes & devices stored in the ISY. Users decide where they want their control widgets displayed on-screen and define the folder structure containing them. Create one interface for the touch panel in the master bedroom, and another completely different interface for the touch panel located in the living room - and yet another interface for the touch panel in the kitchen. The NK8 and NK8-PC products can also communicate with the ISY over an internet connection for complete home monitoring and control from anywhere in the world.

The NK8 and NK8-PC communicate with the ISY in real-time, providing instant feedback and control - both to and from the ISY. The NK8's thumb-friendly interface allows easy use of the touch panel without a pen. The Nokia's modern looks paired with the NK8's clean and colorful interface provide a high-end appearance at a low cost.

About interfaceGO: interfaceGO was founded with the goal of creating practical, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing interfaces to popular home automation products.

Both the NK8 and NK8-PC are available today. A free 30-day trial is available for the NK8-PC application.

I'm hoping that when Dean gets his DNV replacement software up and running, someone will build a linux front end so we can use these types of devices to run a native CQC interface viewer. Right now I use a N800 and N770 to control my system, but it is through a RDP connection. So that adds a layer of conplexity and also increases the chance that something doesn't work right.
